Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nah, nah, yeah
(Cake by the ocean)

Oh, no
See you walkin' 'round like it's a funeral
Not so serious, girl, why those feet cold?
We just gettin' started, don't you tiptoe, tiptoe (ah)

Waste time with a masterpiece, don't waste time with a masterpiece (huh)
You should be rollin' with me, you should be rollin' with me (ah-ah-ah)
You're a real-life fantasy, you're a real-life fantasy (huh)
But you're movin' so carefully, let's start livin' dangerously

Talk to me, baby
I'm goin' blind from this sweet-sweet cravin', whoa-oh
Let's lose our minds and go fuckin' crazy
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hopin' we'll eat cake by the ocean (uh)
Walk for me, baby
I'll be Diddy, you'll be Naomi, whoa-oh
Let's lose our minds and go fuckin' crazy
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hopin' we'll eat cake by the ocean (uh)

Goddamn
See you lickin' frostin' from your own hands
Want another taste, I'm beggin', "Yes, ma'am"
I'm tired of all this candy on the dry land, dry land, ooh

Waste time with a masterpiece, don't waste time with a masterpiece (huh)
You should be rollin' with me, you should be rollin' with me (ah-ah-ah)
You're a real-life fantasy, you're a real-life fantasy (huh)
But you're movin' so carefully, let's start livin' dangerously (whoa-oh)

Talk to me, baby
I'm goin' blind from this sweet-sweet cravin', whoa-oh
Let's lose our minds and go fuckin' crazy (ah)
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hopin' we'll eat cake by the ocean (uh)
Walk for me, baby (walk for me now)
I'll be Diddy, you'll be Naomi, whoa-oh
Let's lose our minds and go fuckin' crazy
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hopin' we'll eat cake by the ocean

Ooh, ah-ah
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hopin' we'll eat cake by the ocean (uh)
Ooh, ah-ah
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hopin' we'll eat cake by the ocean (uh)

Hey, you're fuckin' delicious
Talk to me, girl

Talk to me, baby (talk to me, baby)
I'm goin' blind from this sweet-sweet cravin', whoa-oh
Let's lose our minds and go fuckin' crazy
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hopin' we'll eat cake by the ocean (hey) (uh)
Walk for me, baby (walk for me now)
I'll be Diddy, you'll be Naomi, whoa-oh
Let's lose our minds and go (and go what?), fuckin' crazy (that's right)
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hopin' (I'm ready), we'll eat cake by the ocean (ah, yeah)

Red velvet, vanilla, chocolate in my life
Funfetti, I'm ready, I need it every night
Red velvet, vanilla, chocolate in my life
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hopin' we'll eat cake by the ocean (uh)

Overall Meaning

"Cake By The Ocean" by DNCE is an upbeat, catchy song about letting loose and having fun. The title itself is a playful euphemism for having sex on the beach. Throughout the song, the lead singer Joe Jonas encourages a girl to stop being so serious and to live dangerously with him. He does this through vivid descriptions of eating cake by the ocean and various sexual innuendos.


The first verse starts with Joe Jonas encouraging a girl to chill out and have fun. He starts the verse by saying that she's walking around like it's a funeral and has cold feet. He then tells her that they're just getting started and not to tiptoe around. The pre-chorus then encourages the girl to stop wasting time with "masterpieces," aka perfection, and to come "roll" with him. The chorus repeats the line "let's lose our minds and go fucking crazy" and describes the sweet craving of eating "cake by the ocean."


The second verse starts with Joe Jonas saying "Goddamn" and describes the girl eating frostin' from her own hands. He then tells the girl he wants another taste and is tired of all this candy on dry land. The pre-chorus then repeats, and the chorus repeats twice more before breaking into the bridge. The bridge repeats the line "I keep on hopin' we'll eat cake by the ocean" before breaking into a chant of different cake flavors. The song ends with the repeated line "I keep on hopin' we'll eat cake by the ocean."
